Agree with you. Over 50% of the boxing world continue to under estimate Cotto's talent. They used to compare him with Gatti that he was just gonna be an exciting fighter to watch, then they said he was too slow for quintana, Mag and for Judah, and now they are saying that he has no chance what so ever at a Mosley because Mosley is fast and has a chin....... well let these people keep on underestimating his talent,speed, power and heart. They will see after this fight that Cotto is the real deal and faster than what many think. I continue to say, Cotto's fight mentality is alot like B-HOPS.....No matter what style to come to fight with......You will fight their style of Fight and that seems to frustrate every fighter.
Doesn't matter if Cotto forces Shane to fight his style. Shane has the power and speed (not to mention the chin)....and Cotto has the an iffy chin....that if this become a brawl...Shane has the advantage there as well. As shown by Mosely's fights against Forrest and Wright...Shane has problems fighting fighters with a great jab and ones that use their range. Unless Shane grows old in this fight...he has too much skill and athleticism for Cotto...and when they exchange...Shane will be way faster and just as strong if not stronger. Speed trumps power. In this case you have speed AND power against a weak chin and a weak defense.
